Report: Most teams wouldn’t even sign Dez Bryant at the league minimum

Dez Bryant‘s reputation in the NFL appears to be preceding him. Bryant has indicated that he cares more about playing for the right team than making the right money, even suggesting that he cares more about staying in the NFC East so he can play the Cowboys twice than anything else. But there may not be many teams willing to sign Bryant for any amount of money.Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that there are “far more” teams unwilling to pay Bryant the league minimum salary than there are teams that would consider signing Bryant for any contract.

To my knowledge, the NFL doesn’t impose a league -wide curfew on nights before games, but individual teams do. Thanks for the article clarifying why a team should not be allowed to not hire based on anthem protests .

Mark Maske of the Washington Post reports that the NFL is considering a “compromise” with the polarizing topic of national anthem protests that would allow each team to decide whether or not they want to force their players to stand.

The NFL is now considering allowing individual teams to make their own decisions on this policy, according to Mark Maske of the Washington Post.

Although the league has said that players can protest during the anthem, many teams and owners have expressed their displeasure with their players' form of social justice.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, one of many owners against the protests, said in October there was "no question the league is suffering negative effects from these protests." He also said any player who "disrespects the flag" would be benched.

The league has also discussed allowing players to stay in the locker room or keeping all the players in the locker room until after the anthem. The current policy permits a player's right to protest.

"My guess is they will leave it up to the teams," a high-ranking official said.

Colin Kaepernick started the protests against racial and social injustice in America and it quickly spread throughout the league. Kaepernick opted out of his contract with the 49ers in March 2017 and was not signed by any team last season. He remains a free agent.

After receiving backlash from fans on both sides, the NFL appears to be putting the onus of anthem protests on the owners.

Why Aren't NFL Safeties Getting Signed? .
Eric Reid’s collusion lawsuit and grievance have been in the news, but Reid’s specific situation has overshadowed a rather curious offseason phenomenon involving him and his entire position group: NFL teams aren’t keen on signing free-agent safeties. Six of the first 60 names on NFL.com’s list of the top 101 free agents remain unsigned. One is cornerback Bashaud Breeland (No. 15), who failed a physical after coming to terms with the Panthers at the start of free agency. Another is wideout Dez Bryant (No. 16), whose production slipped last year before he became a cap casualty with the Cowboys.
